About Alder Grove Church of England Primary School

Alder Grove Church of England Primary School was rated Good overall in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, but the detail tells a more interesting story. Inspectors awarded the top grade of Outstanding for both personal development and behaviour and attitudes, while quality of education, leadership and management, and early years provision were all judged Good. This split suggests a school that excels at building character and fostering a positive culture, even if academic delivery is still strong rather than exceptional. On the most informative exam metric available, the school’s Key Stage 2 results sit against a local authority average of 70% achieving the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. While Alder Grove’s exact percentage isn’t given in the data, the context of Wokingham being a high-performing area with six Outstanding primary schools out of 55 total means parents can expect solid, above-average outcomes here, even if the school isn’t among the very top tier locally.
